摘要
Objective： The aim of the study was to report a case with a giant phyllodes tumor of the left breast and discuss the diagnostic and management challenges. Methods： A 47-year-old female patient was admitted to our center （Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital, Luzhou Medical College, China） due to a large left breast mass for about 2.5 years. Core tissue biopsy showed mixed epithelial-stromal proliferation suggestive of a phyllodes tumor. Left modified radical mastectomy with dissection of level Ⅰ and level Ⅱ lymph nodes was performed. Results： The pathologic findings of this proce- dure were consistent with borderline phyllodes tumor. The tumor measured 47.5 cm× 37,0 cm× 28.0 cm and weighed 9.79 kg ex vivo. Conclusion： To our knowledge, this patient presented one of the biggest phyllodes tumors of breast in all cases reported in English-language publications so far.
